How do I detect the rotation of a tagged object?

Question

Hi everyone,

How can I detect when a tagged object placed on the Surface device has been rotated? For example, when I place a circular tagged object on the display, a circular menu appears around it. Now, when the object is rotated, a different part of the menu is selected each time the object is rotated. All help is appreciated!

You need to build a so call custom panel for what you want to accomplish

Actually, I was searching for the particular event which is fired when a tagged object is moved. That would be the "VisualizationMoved" event. But thanks for suggesting the custom panel idea- that put me on the right track. :)
